Pressure points

Key Challenges for Pathology Labs & Diagnostic Centers

Automation transforms bookings, sample logistics, and multi-stakeholder communication.

Scattered Test Enquiries & Orders

Patients, doctors, hospitals, and aggregators reach out via phone, WhatsApp, email, and portals resulting in missed bookings, duplicate data entry, and poor visibility.

Manual Home Sample Coordination

Operations teams juggle technician rosters, routes, consumables, and patient reminders over spreadsheets, making it hard to honor SLA-bound home collections.

Sample Tracking & TAT Blind Spots

Once samples enter accessioning, status updates are trapped inside LIMS screens, leaving front-desk staff unable to answer patient or doctor queries confidently.

Communication Gaps With Patients & Clinicians

Report releases, abnormal value alerts, recollection requests, and billing updates are handled manually, flooding contact centers and delaying care decisions.

Ticket & Quality Escalation Backlogs

Incidents such as temperature breaches, instrument downtime, or sample loss lack structured routing, causing compliance risk and repeated breakdowns.

Complex Billing, Insurance & Corporate Accounts

Different tariffs, packages, and approval processes across retail, insurance, and B2B clients create reconciliations headaches and revenue leakage.
